You obviously already know a lot more about this topic than anyone in
this group, why are you posting this question? You must realize that
it's impossible to get ANY kind of reliable information on warranty
service from such a small sample of people and for such an obscure
appliance as chest freezer, don't you? Plus, chest freezers fail very
rarely, especially under warranty. So, at best, you'd get one or two
relevant replies from the readers in these groups. Are you really
going to make a buying decision based on this???
So you've heard that Maytag is not good, then get Sears or Whirlpool.
The chances that you will need warranty service during the short
warranty offered by any manufacturer is too minuscule to be worried
about its quality.
